In Reply to: Agreed, and two other HK action category nominees. posted by TAFKA Steve on March 10, 2000 at 16:01:01:
the rescue shoot out from 'The Matrix', i have been using this to show off
my HT, and it is really something. The recurring use of slo-mo is hypnotic;
especially the lobby explosion, the whoomp,whoomp of the chopper contrasting with the tinkle of casings seguing into the staccato splash/splash/splash of bullets hitting water. Whoever did the sound work on this did a great job. So far, i am 3 for 3 using this as a demo; they have all said something like 'holy s***'.
Don't expect "Hard Boiled" to be a home theater technical demo showstopper; the print is rather faded and the sound is typical of Hong Kong movies, i.e. compressed mono.

The Criterion DVD looks fantastic on a calibrated monitor.
The Japanese LD is mono but has excellent low level detail and dynamic range.
